Bartik was later seen when he was alerted by [[Gem]] to [[program]]s being captured by Clu's forces and stored at the [[Solar Sailer|solar sailer docks]]. Along with his ally, Hopper, he went to docks and found the programs on standby being held prisoner in the solar sailers. Bartik used a charge from a [[Light Grenade|grenade]] on the control panel of one of the solar sailers, reactivating the programs and allowing him to enter. However, one of the programs noticed a patrol of [[Sentry|sentries]] were approaching, so Bartik concocted a plan of having them all remain still, pretending to be deactivated.
